| 516130 | 2007-01-14 23:30:00 | well yesterday i took my whole computer apart and was gona replace some hardware, but the shipment was delayed for a week and i need to use the comp during this time so i put it all back together. and now its not powering up!!! ok it might be a power supply failure because recently the computer has been rebooting itself and need several attempts to power up successfully. and sometimes when i boot up i hear everything spinning and such but its just a balnk screen on the monitor. and now the whole thing doesnt power up, could this possiblely be a power supply problem? im was gona get a etch over here and have a look but i thought id ask you guys first, if it is a PSU fault then i could of saved $80 hiring a tech and go buy a PSU asap. cheers |

| 516131 | 2007-01-15 00:01:00 | Well it could well be the PSU. On the other hand could be the RAM, MB or such as well. f you haven't got any extra parts you can swap then best to get the tech. |

| 516132 | 2007-01-15 01:40:00 | well the thing is that the computer aint powering up at all, it could only be the psu or the power button on the front panel. if it was the ram or mobo then still it should at least power up right? if it is the power button how would i turn the computer on without using the power button? |

| 516133 | 2007-01-15 01:59:00 | if it is the power button how would i turn the computer on without using the power button? Short the 2 pins the button is going to on the mobo, with something like a screwdriver. You'll have to open the case. |

| 516134 | 2007-01-15 02:03:00 | The most probable cause is that you have nearly put it back together. It worked before you took it apart. Unless your disassembly technique involves using an axe, it's not likely to have destroyed any parts. Check that all the cables go to the right places, and the plugs are the right way around. Don't assume that you did it correctly. ;) If there is a "real" power switch on the PSU, turn it off, wait a while then turn it on again. |

| 516136 | 2007-01-15 02:36:00 | Did u make this pc up? If u did u should know what I'm talking about. Its whatever / wherever the wires from the front for the power are going to on the system panel header. On the mobo. It means short the 2 pins on the header (for the power) with a screwdriver so it turns the system on. |

| 516137 | 2007-01-15 02:44:00 | oh yea of cause, i shorted the pins and now its running, but all i see is a blank screen, could this be a fault from the gfx card or cpu? | kingping (11473) | ||
| 516138 | 2007-01-15 02:47:00 | Is the monitor connected to the video card?? And on? Could be a video card prob if it is plugged in. Try another video card if u have 1. |
